Chilling moment young woman bundled into car in suspected city kidnapping

Chilling footage shows the moment a young woman was bundled into a car during a suspected kidnapping.

The dashcam video shows the moment a dark coloured Ford Mondeo abruptly stops on a Birmingham road at 5.45pm on November 7.

It is understood the woman – believed to be aged in her late teens or early 20s - was forced into the car shortly before as she walked along a nearby road, Birmingham mail reported.

The clip appears to capture the moment she opens a passenger door and scrambles outside the vehicle.

Moments later a man joins her on the pavement, lifts her up and puts her back in the car.

The vehicle then motors away.

A handbag was found at the side of the road and witnesses have described the person being taken away in the car as a woman.

There was nothing in the bag to help officers identify her and police have not been able to determine if she’s safe.

Officers radioed around details of the vehicle to all of their patrols and checked road cameras - but they have not yet been able to trace the car.

Police are hoping someone will recognise the man shown briefly in the clip above or know someone who has access to a similar vehicle and matches the description of the men.

The two men are described as Asian and in their early 20s, with the one who got out of the vehicle having a beard.

The woman was also Asian and believed to be in her late teens or early 20s.

A spokesperson for the force said: "If anyone has information that could help us then please get in touch; we’re also asking the woman to make contact if she can to let us know she’s OK.

"Call us on 101 or message on Live Chat via our website. Alternatively, you can call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. Callers won’t be asked their names and calls cannot be traced.

"Please quote crime ref 20/1863950/21."
